Sweet, a Mind Flayer. Let's get started!

First, you made a typo in his title. it's supposed to be Illithid.

next, you have a low stat gain. FIX IT GOD DAMNIT!

Now, on with the skills!

Hmm... It seems you're focusing on the Illithid's natural Psionic powers.

Not that great, considering the wonderful skill you left out. Extract. You could have made it his ult. Overall, Bard Man is dissapointed by this Illithid.

Hmm should I ask where these Mind Flayers come from or look it up... ah D&D. I have seen very little of that on DS for some reason. Seeing as I read that entire page of wikipedia, I now agree with Bard Man: give him Extract. I even have an idea for that, you could make it like a 10/15/20 second Nightmare or something... and during this the Illithid gains a percent of the victim's damage? *Shrug*

Psychic Blast)
OP 20% chance for double damage and a 2 second stun..
btw a death animation wont work because some heroes explode on death.

Dominate The Mind)
5 seconds is enough time to do quite a bit.
still i assume you cant use spells (with the exception of the single complete domination effect)

Mind Orb)
major damage.. whatever you say, even if it is pure you should at least make it 200.

Etheral Form)
seems workable


i despise dnd but if i ignore that fact i can accetp this to be a reasonable hero.

@Bard_Man:changing ult then to extract(took a look it's very nice)And i can never seem to get stats righ:P
@Shimm:Good idea i may use that one.
@Ghost: only way you can use the spells is if you get a complete domination and do you think i should make death orb like boushs laser then

Two questions about Extract. No, three. First, is that channeling for x seconds? Secondly, please tell me thats 350 damage total and not per second, and is that instant, at the end, or spread over the duration? Third, hotkey K lol? I would say its better than before except I can't remember what it was before lol.

Dude, add this effect: If it kills the unit, Mer'Kol gains X ammount of INT.

That would work out well considering your EATING thier brains. And don't let this be castable on creeps.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE FINAL FANTASY TACTICS: MONSTERS RIGHT?

i knew it.. mindflayers huh..

all skills are fine, except, what do you need the Int for? you're a str type hero..

plus the 2nd skill is IMBA, since you can waste the ultimates of your opponents..

3rd skill, pure damage for that quick cooldown, too good to be true..

Can't use ultimate of enemy heroes,and it's not one of the random abilities casted if you fail to control completly.Upped the cooldown on second skill,and the intel is because all though Mer'Kol is a STR based chare he requires lot's of mana for his abailities.

Well, I'm not very good at balancing abilities, so I'll make a model suggestion. Would it be possible to use one of the faceless one's models? I haven't seen a mind flayer, but from what little info I gleaned from the topic, it should be a snug fit.

Yes it would be possible to use one of the faceless ones models but they would have to be skinnier,not hold any weapon, and be wearing a robe.And they would also have to be a bit taller.
